A. Classified handicap is a free handicap race which contestants are assigned weights to be carried by the handicapper for the purpose of equalling their respective chances of winning. Assigned weights must be posted by 4:00 p.m. on the day prior to entry. In addition, all contestants must qualify for the race by starting for a specified claiming price or less within a specified time period (as stated in the conditions of the race). (For eligibility this race will be considered as a starter race for said claiming price.).

B. Optional claiming race is a contest restricted to horses entered to be claimed for a stated claiming price and to those, which have started previously for that claiming price or less. In the case of horses entered to be claimed in such a race, the race shall be considered, for the purpose of these rules, a claiming race. In the case of horses not entered to be claimed the race shall be considered an allowance race.
